EU Army: Party leader warns of loss of Austrian neutrality!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The latest political developments in Europe cause excitement: FPÖ general secretary NaBG. Christian Hafenecker, MA, sharply criticized the demands of EVP boss Manfred Weber for a European army. According to Hafenecker, this is a "exposed" step that would endanger Austria's neutrality and undermine national sovereignty. He made it clear: "Such an extensive integration would not only be a further step towards a European state, but would also massively restrict Austria's foreign policy independence," as reported by the APA press agency. The FPÖ is concerned that the new coalition of the ÖVP submits to the requirements of the EU and does not have an eye on the interests of their own population.

EU strategies under Ursula von der Leyen

In a larger context, the EU Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, has reorganized its agenda after climate protection has been priority. The European “Green Deal” pursues the ambitious goal of making the continent climate -neutral until the middle of the century. However, these measures, which the Commission proposed, put pressure on companies that have to fight with the consequences of Corona pandemic and international competition. Von der Leyen has changed its strategy and wants to ensure that the Commission reacts more flexibly to the economic needs of how it can be read on the BR24 website.

The measures should help accelerate approval processes and support companies in Europe to increase their competitiveness. This is directly related to Hafenecker's concerns about the economic situation in Austria, where - according to his criticism - "war policy continues" and the "policy of open limits" is retained. These challenging framework conditions put the new European perspective on the test. The question remains whether the EU's implementation strategies will really have the necessary positive effect, so that Europe can take a competitive place in the global economy of tomorrow.
